Question 1: What happens to a subscriber's status in the 'All Subscribers' list when they click an unsubscribe link in an email?

- They are moved to a separate suppression list only
- Nothing changes until a manual update is made
Correct answer: Their status changes to 'Unsubscribed' and they are globally suppressed from future sends
Clicking unsubscribe sets the subscriber's status to Unsubscribed in All Subscribers, which suppresses them from all future commercial email sends account-wide.

- Waits until a contact's subscription expires
- Delays the send until the marketer manually approves it
Correct answer: Holds each contact until a specific date stored in their own record or a calendar date
Wait Until Date pauses each contact individually until a specified date, which can be a fixed calendar date or a date attribute on the contact record.
